We really don't want a big wedding. We would prefer to elope or have a microwedding. Can you still help us?Absolutely! Just complete the contact form below!
-
Are you LGTBQ+ friendly?Absofreakinlutely!!!!! Love is Love and the world needs more of it.
-
So, my uncle and my dad tried to choke each other the last time they were in the same room...."That's cool. Every family tree has a few nuts. A few weeks before your wedding we'll meet and chat about your day. We'll discuss any family issues. I certainly don't want to group family members together who don't get along, or even catch them in candids. My goal is for your day to go as smoothly as possible. I also do my best to attend your rehearsal. I typically don't shoot. I just like to introduce myself to the bridal party and important family members. I really like to learn parents names. I think it's important to call them by their given names, not just "mom" and "dad".
-
What price do your wedding packages start at?Wedding Packages start as low as $3025.00!
-
Do I really need a Second Shooter?It really depends on your circumstances. I'm very thorough but I can't be in two places at once. So, if you're getting ready at two separate locations, or having your ceremony and reception at two separate locations, then a Second Shooter is something you should strongly consider. If everything is at one location then I can generally handle it on my own. However, keep in mind that a Second Shooter will help capture small details that I may not be able to.
-
All of your wedding packages come with engagement Sessions. My Uncle Bob already took our engagement photos. Can you deduct that from the price of the wedding?An engagment session is more than some photos for your Save The Dates. An engagement session helps us get to know one another. Maybe there is a side of your face you prefer. Or your ears are unusually ticklish and I should avoid directing your partner to whisper into them at all costs. Perhaps you don't like to be hugged a certain way. Quirks. Hey, we've all got 'em but I'd rather learn about them before your big day! I can assure you that this session will put all three of us at ease so your wedding day is a breeze. At least from a photography standpoint. I can't do much about your mother-in-law... So, no.
-
Why is wedding photography so expensive? Don't you just show up for eight hours, push a button, and go home?"Ahhhhh, if only. Well, for starters I spend a lot of time prior to your wedding sending your contract and other correspondence, shooting and editing your engagement session, meeting to go over the particulars, and creating a timeline. Then there's my assistant who comes along with me and a second shooter if you so choose. They, sadly, don't work for free. Oh, and that camera. It's pretty pricey. And I have three. Because no one is happy when a camera decides not to work on a wedding day. What's that? You like that blurry background in my photos (we call that bokeh)? The lenses that achieve that effect, they're pretty darned expensive too. As well as lighting gear, Ibuprofen, memory cards, computers, Chiropractor bills, back-up systems, coffee, website hosting, comfortable shoes that don't look like I stole them from your granny, gallery hosting, etc. I've got to insure all that stuff too. And pay Uncle Sam his share. After I go home I spend a good 25-30 hours editing, uploading, designing albums, ordering products, etc. I can assure you that I won't be cashing out your payment in singles and rolling around on my bed in dollar bills.
-
Is there anything you hate about weddings?Yes. "Butterfly Kisses" If you dance with your father to that song, no wedding photos for you. Said in my best Soup Nazi voice.
-
When should we book our student's senior photo session?It’s recommended to book your senior session at least 3-4 months in advance to ensure availability, especially if you want your photos for graduation announcements or other events. The earlier you book, the more options you’ll have in terms of scheduling and locations.
-
When can we expect our senior's full gallery?I'll provide a few previews within 72 hours of the session and the remainder will be delivered within two to three business weeks.
-
Our child is able to drive themselves to their session so I don't need to attend, right?I require that a parent and/or guardian over the age of 21 attends the session. There are zero exceptions to this rule. If a parent and/or guardian does not attend I will terminate the session, your retainer will be forfeited, and you will need to rebook for a date when a parent and/or guardian over 21 will be present.
-
How will our child's photos be delivered?You will receive an online gallery of the edited images from the session. From this gallery you can (and should) download all images and save them in a safe place. You can share them on social media and have them printed at the lab of your choice. You are also welcome to purchase prints from my lab directly through the gallery.
-
Can we choose our own location for our child's photo session?Yes, I love when families pick a location that holds special meaning for their senior, whether it's outdoors, urban settings, or even at home. We can discuss different location options and what will work best for the style of photos you're looking for.
-
Can my child include their dog, horse, etc. in their photo session?Absolutely! I actually charge more if families do NOT include their pets 😉
-
My child is very anxious about having photos taken. Can you help them?Absolutely! Most people are nervous around a camera. We'll work together prior to the session for me to learn a lot about your child and we'll also spend a few minutes chatting prior to starting their session. I tend to also show your Senior a few photos from the back of my camera so they can see how we'll they're doing. Once the see how great they look, the rest of the session is a breeze.
